Home is…

Noun
The place where one lives permanently, esp. as a member of a family or household.

Adjective
Of or relating to the place where one lives: “your home address”.

Adverb
To the place where one lives: “what time did he get home last night?”.

Verb
(of an animal) Return by instinct to its territory after leaving it: “geese homing to their summer nesting grounds”.

Is that it though? Can your heart and your head have different homes too? As an expat this is a question that comes up a lot – “Where do you call home?” Is it where your clothes and bed are, or is it where you grew up?

“Home wasn’t a set house, or a single town on a map. It was wherever the people who loved you were, whenever you were together. Not a place, but a moment, and then another, building on each other like bricks to create a solid shelter that you take with you for your entire life, wherever you may go.”
― Sarah Dessen, What Happened to Goodbye

Consider yourself warned about me...
